  • Put a line above Assignment #1; assignment #2 will go above assignment #1.

  • Choose one of the following: suspense or foreshadowing.
  • With your small group, find four examples of suspense OR foreshadowing in chapter two.

  • Then, in a well-written paragraph, explain why these sentences clearly show either suspense or foreshadowing.
  • Read chapter three for Monday, October 25.

Response: Foreshadowing....

Page 31- "One little Indian boy left all alone;
He went and hanged himself and then there were none."

The poem on page 31 foreshadows for the rest of the book, But i think the most important line is the last one.There are ten guest who are staying on Indian Island, and in the poem there are ten little Indians. these ten phrases of the poem will decide what happens to each of the guests, which foreshadows the fate of the ten guests.

Page 36- "funny the way the eye each other--as though they knew..." -Mr.Blore

This foreshadows the book because Mr.Blore is indicating that he knows something the other guests do not. also in chapter one and some other occasions in chapter two, Mr.Blore hints the read that he has an insight about something terrible that ois going to happen.

Page 26- "Queer business when you came to think of it--whole thing was queer--very queer..." -- Mr.Fred Narracott

This foreshadows that there is something that is not right about the group and the whole idea of Indian island. Even Mr. Fred Narracott, the boat transporter, could realize that there was something off with the froup when he had not even talked to them.

Page 32- " Drowed... Found drown... Drowned at sea... Drowned -- drowned--drowned.... No, she woulldn't remember... She would not think of it!" -Vera Claythorn

This is foreshadowing because indicates that Vera might have had to do with someone drowning in her past. This might effect her fate in the story. Especially because one of the ten little indians phrases talks about " going out to sea."


Excellent choices to show foreshadowing. Good job as a group!

ASSIGNMENT #1 October 18-19, 2010

Due October 20

*IMPORTANT*

1. Put the date on your new WIKI page.

2. Copy the text onto your new page that asks the two questions. HINT: (the blue text).

3. Write your answer.

4. Pay attention to voice, organization, conventions. Be sure to answer in complete thoughts.

5. Reread your answer before posting.


Assignment: Add a new page and name it LAST NAME + AND THEN THERE WERE NONE. Create a link from your page to the student pages. On your new page, answer the two questions above in one solid paragraph. In the second paragraph, make one prediction - something that you think might happen or something that you might expect about a character in the story.

Questions:

  • how does a mystery novel differ from a narrative?

  • how might the title be a clue to the story?


Response:
1 Mystery novels differ from a narrative because, in a narrative they always keep you up to beat on the story and whats happening and there re usually only a couple of main characters. In a Mystery they always give you just barely enough information to keep it interesting but usually surprise you. In a mystery at the end of each chapter they keep you "hanging" so you want to read more. They always will tell you about someone that seems suspicious or is different then most other characters. In mystery's they usually turn out to be a murder or something bad happens to one or more characters. In a narrative they usually end up with a happy ending.

2 The title of this story sets the stage for it to be a mystery. The title is some what suspicious and mysterious to me. That tells me that something is up in this story and it is going to be a mystery.
Nina- Great observations.
